"Charlene: The Epitome of an Exceptional Childmind

In my unique circumstances of having an unpredictable weekend work schedule, Charlene has shown remarkable flexibility and understanding. Her childcare skills are truly impressive, and I'm amazed at the diverse range of activities she engages my child in. From outings to the park, soft play area, engaging in creative activities like painting and cooking, to reading books and consistently providing updates, Charlene goes above and beyond. My little one, who is just 15 months old, eagerly looks forward to her time with Charlene and seems genuinely happy while she's there. Her happiness speaks volumes about Charlene's care. Her honesty and assistance are invaluable. Without a doubt, if you're seeking a childminder, Charlene stands out as the top choice.

Hi Karim, I'm delighted to read your kind words and appreciate your recognition of my efforts. Your child's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm glad that my flexibility and engaging activities have made a positive impact. It's been a joy getting to know you all, and it's an absolute pleasure to care for your little one, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for your thoughtful review!

A second home for my little one

My son started going with Charlene when he was about to turn 10 months and since day 1 he loved it and never even looked back when I was leaving.
He is now been going for a few months and he literally cannot wait to go with Charlene (you should see his smile when he sees her every morning!).
I am a first time mom and Charlene has been amazing with me as well, she has been able to tackle every insecurity I had, she has been so patient with my questions and requests, and has made me actually enjoy the time my son is away.
Charlene has a lovely setting and takes the kids to this amazing adventures every week, which is what I loved in comparison with nurseries. My boy has done so many fantastic and incredibly simulating activities these past few months that has helped him to grow and develop enormously.
I cannot recommend her enough, and we are just happy that our journey with her has just started and we have a few years together ahead of us :)

Thank you so much for such a touching review, I really do appreciate it.  It is such a pleasure working with you all, you've got such an amazing family and the most incredible son with a smile that can light up any room. It is such an honour looking him and can't wait to see the little man he grows up to be in the future.  I would just like to take this time to thank you for all of the support and dedication you've shown and wish you all the best. xxx

AMAZING SERVICE

This women is incredible there is no better childminder like . Since my son has been going to this lady his progression I’n EVERYTHING is tremendous. All her food is fresh, the children go on day trips near enough every day which is included in your cost of child care . The children have themes everyday at her house with pictures daily of your child . I get updated daily with the food and how behaved my child is also . The education that is taught is absolutely incredible . My son always comes home happy with out fail . My son is very happy in her house settings which is very clean and child friendly . Her garden is amazing and also has a lot of child therapy toys for example calming lamps .
My son also bakes regularly and brings home thing he has made . Please bare in mind my son is only 2 . I feel very secure and safe and so does my son . I feel this lady protects my son and treats him like her own as she treats ALL the children fairly .

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.  It has been such a pleasure watching your son grow and develop into such a strong and independent person, he is such a character and can't believe how fast he picks things up and takes in information, he's absolutely incredible.  I'm so glad you're happy with everything and would like to take this time to thank you for all of your support. 

Totally and utterly fantastic

We were very very fortunate to find Charlene, I searched online, she popped up and immediately I got beautiful kind vibes......let’s have it right, finding the right childcare for your babies is the hardest task we all face as parents in life....and how lucky were we!! Charlene is a beautiful soul, caring kind calm and sincere, everything we look for in another human who will be fit to look after our children. The environment Charlene provides for her childcare premise is everything a child desires to fell safe and have fun, it is equipped and designed around every corner to bring fun and joy for all that join her. Myself and my Son were happy the first moment we met her and entered her home and met her family. All a very natural vibe, we have never looked back, i would recommend Charlene to everyone I know. Her communication and organisation is impeccable and a credit to any child that is lucky to be in her care, she gets a 100 star rating from us. (my son quotes are “fun, not boring, safe, great food, great facilities and great company”) !!

Hi Lou,
Thank you ever so much for your detailed and most kind words. I am so glad you're both happy and appreciate your feedback regarding the space I've created. I truly value our new friendship and as I always say 'it's a pleasure looking after your son'. xxx

Amazing childminder

It was our first experience with childminders and we were a bit nervous but Charlene has made it so much easier. She put an extra effort to get to know our daughter and find out her interests so she could settle in a new setting. Thanks for all your work!
